So excited to see how Lockwood does in his NHL debut. He has a ton of potential and looking forward to seeing him out there

This picture makes me laugh and happy all at the same time

These appear to be the lineup changes for the Canucks:

 

OUT: Holtby, Juolevi, Chatfield, MacEwen, Gadjovich.

IN: Demko, Rathbone, Myers, Michaelis, Lockwood.

 

NOTE: MacEwen is under the weather, Silovs will back up Demko.

[Beary Sweet]

Also, what is up with Jake being sued? Is he on his way out of Vancity if matters aren’t resolved soon enough?

whose killing then penalties?

 

schmidt and myers ok......

 

Juolevi and Hamonic? yikes.........

Joulevi could very well end up being solid on the PK. I look forward to seeing him next year now with some games under his belt 

[RakuRaku]

Any reason why Lind is not playing anymore??? Did he suck badly in those games??  and Gadj doesn't deserve another look?? I just don't get it.... and Michaelis gets to play ahead of our prospects...

Michaelis needs to be in over Gadjovich? Really? What is the point of that?

Same too bad the game is during work hours

just have to wait and see how it plays out 

[ohmy]

I'd prefer Gadjovich in over Michaelis. Makes no sense playing Mich at this point. Gads barely played last game if at all after his fight.

Exactly. I get that the season is dwindling down and there's really nothing left to play for, but at least put some players in that'll make an impact. I guess Green wasn't happy with Gadj's truculence.

Gadjovich was assigned back to the taxi squad today. I'm not sure he will play tomorrow, either.

[Bertuzzipunch]

What a joke what they did to gadj. Im really upset, there’s literally no reason to not play him right now. Screw Green now i hope he gets fired, stupid idiot.

I don’t buy that narrative of truculence. Green praised Gadj in his interview after. But I also don’t agree with playing Michaelis in place of him. It’s more of a earn your strips mentality with Green. The give away in the first. I imagine he’ll play next game. I don’t necessarily agree with that philosophy but that’s what I see as opposed to the “Green doesn’t want to play tough” narrative

Green is being a bit harsh... we would never know if the kids got potential to stick in the NHL if we don't give at least 5+ games especially these are mean nothing games!!  We should let DiPietro have a start too!

I thought JG hurt his hand.  probably resting it another day.

hard to say. I could see it if Michaelis needed a couple more games to meet expansion eligibility but thats not it. Maybe its just part of stealth tank, but they aren't really trying to tank. 

 

Dunno Phil, spin the wheel.

I've never understood how a coach could expect kids to come into their first games - knowing how nervous they might be - and not giving them any slack whatsoever for the odd mistake.

 

Hell, we've seen enough of our vets making boneheaded plays with no repercussions.

he might, and i also expect some growing pains. Hes made some nice defensive plays but also a few very concerning defensive plays too. I believe he can get there, but expect a few mishaps.

 

Hamonic leads the league in shorthanded scoring against, in a bad way.

 

also Having  2 players unable to kill a penalty on your D spells trouble

[Locke Lamora]

Love that J-Bone is back in, Lockwood gets his first NHL game (this kid has been through a lot in terms of injuries)…but I don’t like that Gadj is being shelved for what looks like the last two games. Travis, I have your back on most things, but not this.
